Introduction: Science Translational Medicine launched, according to an announcement from the AAAS. We are quite happy that translational medicine has attained the level of acknowledgment by one of the most prominent scientific organizations in the world. This is further and crucial recognition for this field. We think that Science Translational Medicine will offer yet another beneficial platform for the quick and extensive distribution of significant articles in the field and aid in improving the efficacy of overall translational medicine. We first published the Journal of Translational Medicine with Biomed Central as an open-access journal over six years ago [1]. We initially had to deal with the unavoidable skepticism and numerous inquiries, including some from Science reporters, challenging the relevance of translational medicine in the current biomedical landscape and the necessity of starting a new journal devoted to it.
